Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the bolts (or Fiat if they're standard fit items)? They may be able to supply a replacement key. I do know an alternative method of shifting certain types of locking bolt, which I'll PM to you as I'd rather not post info on a public forum that unscrupulous people could use to steal wheels!

its quite an easy yet lengthy process to take them off although kwikfit removed mine without even asking if i have the key so they must have some sort of adapter... maybe ask them?

Nah, some wheels all have the same key believe it or not, bet you Jonnyboy was referring to one of two methods both of which require a hammer (thats all your getting clayton!)

Consider the diametre of the bolt before considering purchase. Maybe cheaper and easier to go to kwikfit/other place and asking them to do it and see how much they want?
